Talk: Cursed Bokoblin (Breath of the Wild)

Oni Dark Link – "We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many languages. The child knows someone must have written those books. It does not know how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. The child dimly suspects a mysterious order in the arrangement of the books but doesn't know what it is. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of even the most intelligent human being toward God. We see the universe marvelously arranged and obeying certain laws but only dimly understand these laws. Our limited minds grasp the mysterious force that moves the constellations." A new type of thinking is essential if mankind is to survive and move to higher levels."- Albert Einstein" TALK – {{{time}}}~ evaluations reviews walkthrough Why is this enemy split over two pages?

WiseAdventurer – "Nyapakapow!" —Riki TALK – {{{time}}} • Editcount • Contributions I have decided to split them because they are two completely different enemies. I will try to minimise spoiler info as possible, in Skyward Sword it is an undead Bokoblin, as a whole, while in Breath of the Wild it is just a skull (Stalkoblin's skull) filled by the evil Malice and thrown by the evil purple substance (kind of trap substance), like for the others Cursed Monsters, the Cursed Moblin and Cursed Lizalfos

Oni Dark Link – "Reality is the strip malls of Burbank, the smokestacks of Cleveland, a parking garage in Newark. Fantasy is the towers of Minas Tirith, the ancient stones of Gormenghast, the halls of Camelot. Fantasy flies on the wings of Icarus, reality on Southwest Airlines. Why do our dreams become so much smaller when they finally come true? - George R.R Martin" TALK – {{{time}}}~ evaluations reviews walkthrough It still seems kind of weird. Usually we only split enemy pages if one of them is a boss or mini boss. I can't think of any other example of an enemy we split that's completely different. Granted I'm drawing a blank on any enemies that are completely different between two different titles right now. Edit: Actually thinking about it, Octoroks come in several distinct versions that we cover on the same article. The land version debuting in the original version, the water version we see starting in Ocarina of Time, and a land version of the water one in Skyward Sword that more resembles a Deku Scrub than anything else.

WiseAdventurer – "Nyapakapow!" —Riki TALK – {{{time}}} • Editcount • Contributions I see what you mean but here only the name is similar, everything else is different, in BOTW, the nature, the enemy appearance, even the origin, history and reason of the "Curse". It is really different compared to the Octoroks case. To illustrate, we are comparing this and this:

Skyward Sword

Breath of the Wild, the skulls here
_{(even though the skulls are Cursed Moblin here, it is the same with Stalkoblin skulls instead for Cursed Bokoblins)}

Oni Dark Link – "If history is to change, let it change! If the world is to be destroyed, so be it! If my fate is to die, I must simply laugh!" — Magus" TALK – {{{time}}}~ evaluations reviews walkthrough Well I won't push the issue any further until I've actually played the game (just signed on to do another month and a half in East Asia -_- seriously considering importing it now) but I would like it if someone else who's actually informed could weigh in their opinion.

WiseAdventurer – "Nyapakapow!" —Riki TALK – {{{time}}} • Editcount • Contributions Yes, of course. It is not an urgent issue and it is better to avoid spoilers as much as possible for you and other people who have not played it yet. We can thus wait for more opinions. I hope I was not completely wrong in this split decision! I was really sure to act in the good way. But in this case, do not worry, I would reverse back everything done (renaming back, fixing numerous links back, etc.).
